The Jones's Falls Scheme.
Baltimore Sun.


The Central Rapid Transit ordinance introduced
in the City Council for railroad in the bed of
Jones's Fsls, has revived engineering interest in
that classic stream. Whether the Rapid Transit
Company is seeking for franchise that may be
of value to other corporations is acting in be-
half of interests, with sufficient money backing to
carry out such extensive scheme, is not dis
closed. But it has novelty and boldness of con-
ception about it that command attention. Plans
for the improvement of the falls are not novelties.
There have been diversion plans, but this is the
first to propose the heading off of the waters of the
basin at the mouth, the diversion of the stream
into Gwynns Falls in the county and the dedica-
ton of the dry bed of the falls for railroad tracks,
The question of its feasibility is discussed by en-
gineers and officials of the railroad companies say
they have known of the project through its pro-
moters, but have nothing to say concerning its
adoption. In any event its contamination is some
distance in the future. The late Mr.. Henry Tyson,
after the falls flood of 1868, planned for an i'm
provement of the stream, which led to the Jones 8
Falls commission, of which he was member. He
proposed dredging the bottom, construction of
large intercepting for the city drainage the
filling up of the low ground in the flood district
and the construction of boulevards on either side
of the falls. The appropriation of S2,5OO,O for
the work has been applied to Strengthening and
rebuilding the retaining walls, and for the North
Baltimore bridges. Engineers say that the danger
of further disastrous foods has been minimized.

The Handsome Estate Of the Late s. s..
Patterson.-A correspondent sends us the fol-
lowing description of the estate of the late Samuel
S. Patterson, in Long Green Valley, near Baldwin
Station: "The estate comprises about $50 acres,
OF which about two thirds is arabic, the remainder
being in wood. The mansion stands on an eleva-
ton overlooking the valley from one end to the
other. 1t is about 200 yards from the Maryland
Central railroad, which passes in full view, skirt
ing two beautiful meadows. The main building
is brick, with large wo-story frame back build
ing, both supplied throughout with hot and cold
water, which supplied from never-failing springs
and brought through pipes by natural flow. The
barn, so by so feet, is located back of the house
and has stablng for 40 head of cattle, with every
convenience for feeding them, and with an ample
supply of pure water. Like the house, the barn
faces the south, thus afording plenty of sunlight
and warmth during the winter months. Near by
is laras corn house, with capacity of about 400
CONNECTED with this is Fairbank scale. I'm
derneath is the mule stable, 40 by 70 feet in which
are housed the necessary farm stock. short
distance below the corn house is the brick barn,
As by 60 feet. This having proven too small for
its uses, it was turned into a stable and carriage
house, and its interior arrangements have been
very highly spoken of by oil who have seen them,
it being model of convenience, neatness and
taste. The carriage-way and stables are all fin
ished in Georgia pine, posts and wainscoating
oiled and vanished, the whole making very
snug appearance. All the stalls are of handsome
design, large, convenient and comfortable. In
the rear of these is the harness room, with all
cessary fixtures, and finished so as to correspond.
Below are the stables for the COWS, sheep and
colts, the carriage house and horse stables being
ON level with the ground. All of these build
ings have a supply of water near at hand for
washing carriages, watering stock, &c. Taken
as whole this may be termed a model farm and
furnishes an example of what means and good
taste can accomplish. ALEXANDER"

@-A white woman named Roxalana Druse
was hanged at Herkimer, New York, Oh Monday
last, for the murder of her husband, whom she
shot several times and then cut his body up into
small pieces and burned them. Her daughter,
who assisted in the horrible butchery, was con-
victed and sentenced to States prison for life. A
strong effort made TO have Mrs. Druse's som
tence committed to Imprisonment for life, but it
failed, Governor Hill refusing to interfere. Her
excuse for killing her husband was that he was a
brute, had frequently maltreated her and many
times threatened to take her life. Druse was
worthless, drunken fellow and for this reason
there was considerable sympathy for his wife.
Me-The fine new building of the Woman's In
dustrial Exchange, on the corner of Charles and

Non Resident Children in the City Pub

Non. Resident Children in the City Pub
lie Schools.-At the last meeting of the Balti
more City School Board member submitted
report on the question of nonresident pupils in
s th eh sea out rs 6 sa s that il to cir
ter in charge replies had been received from about
100 parents and guardians, claiming the right to
send their children to the city schools free of
charge on various grounds. The committee wrote
to Mr.. Bernard Carter, city solicitor for his opin
ion on the following points arising under the Or
dinances requiring the payment of tuition fees by
nonresident pupils in the city schools:
First-Where the parent or guardian is tax
payer in Baltimore city, but resides outside of the
city limits, does the fact of his being such tax
payer in any way affect his obligation to pay I'M
der the ordinance?
Second-Are parents or guardians, who actual
ly live beyond the city limits, but claim that they
are still registered voters of the city that they
do not intend to give up their residence here;
that they are only temporarily away, and expect
to return, to be treated as residents or non-resi-
dents under the ordinance?
Third-Where the parents of the pupils are nom
residents, but the pupils themselves are residing
with relatives or friends who are residents, the
parents being unable to care for them, the friends
or relatives clothing, feeding and otherwise provid
ing for the pupils entirely, although not legally
appointed guardians of them, is tuition to be
charged for these pupils under the ordinance?
Fourth-Where the parents or guardians ad-
nit that they are non-residents, but claim they
are unable through lack of means to pay the tut
ton, has the Board any power to admit the pu-
pills free?
The opinion of the city solicitor was to the eff
feet that all classess except the third, must pay,
and that the Board has no discretion under the
ordinance The following resolutions were then
adopted:
"Resolred, That the committee direct the princi-
pals of the schools to send tuition bills for the
quarter beginning November goth, 1885, and also
for the quarter beginning February 10th. 1887,
accompanied by circular, to be prepared by this
committee, to the parents or guardins of all chill
dren who are not exempt from payment under the
decision of the city solicitor, and that in said cir,
cuar said parents or guardians shall be notified
of said decision, and further, that if said tuition
bills are not paid on or before day to be fixed
by the committee, and inserted in said circular,
the pupils will be dismissed from the schools.
"Resolved, That this committee shall report to
this Board for its action rules regulating the
method of admission of children of nonresident
parents or guardians, the mode of payment of tut.
ton fees by them, and the time and manner OF
dismissng such pupils as do not pay the amounts
required by the ordinance of the CITY,"
